Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Foster: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Foster tumbling to the Cardinals in the 224th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is not that Mitchell is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Marvin Harrison Jr. reach the Round 1 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They let Kool-Aid McKinstry come to them and pounced at slot 35. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to Round 2, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Quinyon Mitchell
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Quinyon Mitchell adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than the 90th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 105 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137
Rnd5
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Braelon Allen
Somehow Braelon Allen was still sitting there in the 188th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
No drama and no debate, Zakhari Franklin went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Javon Foster
They robbed the room for Javon Foster here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
